There is no better place to stay in Bologna than this one. When you walk out of the door you immediately find yourself in the bustling centre of the city, just 30 seconds walk from Piazza Maggiore. Within the same timeframe, you could walk to the pastry shop on Piazza de' Celestini. You're literally in the center of Bologna and places like the Margherite Gardens, the university district, and the train station are all within a half-hour walk. From the station, you can take the Frecciarossa train to comfortably reach Florence in less than 40 minutes. \n\nI thoroughly enjoyed my stay just because of the location. If you'd like to go for an evening walk or a late dinner, for example, you wouldn't have to rush to get home. It allowed me to have dinner in some restaurants further away, outside the tourist area. \n\nThe apartment is perfect during the hot summers, as you could easily return to stock up on water from the fridge or cool down. I never had any problems with the city noises, as the apartment faces a quiet courtyard. A high-end restaurant is located near the building's entrance, but I never experienced any noise from it. \n\nYou have the possibility to relax in front of your apartment and catch some sunshine in the morning and afternoon. There is also good-working Wi-Fi, a television, and even a washing machine, in case you need them. \n\nThe air conditioning in La Colombina worked wonders for the heat, as I stayed during the summer month with temperatures up to 35 degrees Celsius. The apartment is clean and very cozy. There are spacious closets and the shower works as it should. In case you'd like to cook dinner yourself on the stove, there are wonderful cooking books available, full of authentic Italian recipes. \n\nWhat struck me was the personal touch. Not only in relation to the apartment, but host Tiziano will also do his best to make your stay unforgettable. Apart from being friendly and kind, he remains available for any requests or problems that you might run into. It's that personal touch that really solidifies my positive review of this apartment.
